Widmer Brothers Brewing Has Four Collaboration Beers for Feast Portland

Portland’s largest food festival has drinks, too, and Widmer Brothers Brewing has four collaboration beers for Feast’s kickoff next week. These four collaborations are with four food and beverage industry heavyweights that debut with the annual culinary festival that will be held from Thursday, September 17, to Sunday, September 20, 2015.

The four new beers, which were each brewed at Widmer Brothers’ 10-barrel innovation brewery specifically for Feast Portland, include:

“We are really happy to continue our partnership with Feast Portland and to help bring even more excitement to the event with some fun new beers,” said Kurt Widmer, co-founder of Widmer Brothers Brewing. “The festival brings together a couple things that we love about Oregon: access to great ingredients and the adventurous people who celebrate life through Portland’s culture of beer, wine, and food. The four collaborations we brewed for Feast capture this idea, as well, bringing together some really innovative people in the industry, and some great, unique ingredients.”

Widmer Brothers Brewing is an event title sponsor of Feast Portland for the fourth year, and will be pouring the four collaboration beers at many of the festival’s events. The beers will also be available at the Widmer Brothers Pub and very select restaurants and craft beer bars throughout Portland.

About Widmer Brothers BrewingWidmer Brothers Brewing was founded in 1984 in Portland, Ore. Brothers Kurt and Rob Widmer, with help from their dad, Ray, helped lead the Pacific Northwest craft beer movement when they began brewing unique interpretations of traditional German beer styles. In 1986, Widmer Brothers Brewing introduced the original American-style Hefeweizen, which elevated the brewery to national acclaim. Since then, Hefe (pronounced: “hay-fa”) has grown to become Oregon’s favorite craft beer and the brewery has continued to push the boundaries, developing beers with an unapologetic, uncompromised commitment to innovation.

The brewery currently brews a variety of award-winning beers including Hefe, Upheaval IPA, Alchemy Pale Ale, Drop Top Amber Ale, Replay IPA, a full seasonal lineup, and a series of limited-edition beers. For more information about Widmer Brothers Brewing, visit www.widmerbrothers.com.
